Interesting picture. One problem with arrangements like this is that
all the gliders have to come out if you want to fly the first one that
went in. A local commercial operator used to advertize that "gliders
are hangared" but they were mostly outside all day exposed to sun and
dust devils and only inside at night. The other problem is that
others, perhaps lots of them, get to handle your glider. Hangar rash
would not be a well known term if it didn't happen.

The rotating floor hangar design seems to eliminate these problems but
I assume it's much more expensive.
